Speaker proposal submission is now OPEN for the 2020 The Rising Festival. Submissions for 2020 will be accepted starting May 1, 2019.

If you would like to speak at any of our events, please submit a proposal for the upcoming year and state which speaking opportunities you are interested in.

We review all proposals carefully to ensure that we find the right fit so please submit your proposal outlining all details to include the overall synopsis, plus the finer details and duration of your talk or workshop.

As a social enterprise, our speaking roles are unpaid. If you require an honorarium to speak, please do not submit a proposal.

Once you have submitted a proposal, please refrain from emailing to check on the status of your entry. We will be in touch directly if we’d like to invite you to speak.
